RetailScan app analytics for January 13

Descartes, a leading provider of mobile solutions to improve collaboration between retailers and their logistics service providers, introduces RetailScan. RetailScan is a mobile application used to scan cartons at each point from the distribution centers through to the store delivery. Carton-level tracking complements shipment-level tracking and helps pro-actively identify potential inventory replenishment for each store, reduces theft and claims for lost cartons, and streamlines shipment payment. It also supports 3rd-party pool distribution, which helps retailers to reduce logistics costs and minimize store disruptions by eliminating unconsolidated direct shipments from suppliers and retailer distribution centers into the stores.
